After the Battlefield: Infectious Complications among Wounded Warriors in the Trauma Infectious Disease Outcomes Study.

CONCLUSIONS: The TIDOS project has focused research on four initiatives: (1) blast-related wound infection epidemiology and clinical management; (2) DoD-VA outcomes research; (3) Multidrug- Resistant and other Virulent Organisms Trauma Infections Initiative; and (4) Joint Trauma System clinical practice guidelines and antibiotic stewardship. There is a continuing need for longitudinal data platforms to support battlefield wound research and clinical practice guideline recommendation refinement, particularly to improve care for future conflicts. As such, maintaining a research platform, such as TIDOS, would negate the lengthy time needed to initiate data collection and analysis. PMID: 31778199 [PubMed - in process]
